Alan Wake 2 guide: How to access the Deluxe Edition and pre-order bonuses?

Alan Wake 2, the highly anticipated sequel to one of Remedy Entertainment's best titles, is finally out. Despite arriving more than a decade after the original Alan Wake, it still retains the series' core identity, featuring a thrilling narrative with plenty of twists.

Much like the original game, Alan Wake 2 features plenty of subtle customization elements, offering choices between myriad outfits for the playable characters. The game even grants different weapon skins, adding cosmetic options for the firearms aside from the usual suite of upgrades.

That said, most of these cosmetics, especially the ones that can be earned early, are locked behind the Deluxe Edition and pre-order bonuses of the game.

Here's a comprehensive guide to do just that.
